Five Years Later.

Sad to say that I think I need to not see my bike for a while.
I love my 2 wheels, but I think that I am a little burned out, and when I say a little, I mean a LOT!
It's been a great ride (no pun intended), I have encountered rain, winds of all sorts, wonderful people, rude drivers, sun burns, hot spots and so much more.

I got started in all of this because an ex's mom of mine, who I thought of as a second mom had MS. There were days I would spend all day in bed with her because she was unable to move. We would watch Lifetime movies and talk about family and how much we were alike. She was an inspiration to me and I loved her dearly. I might have been more sad about losing her in the break up than anything. Even after all this time, when I get on my bike I think of her and I hope that she is doing better and everything that the MS Society does she benefits from.

My 1st ride was done all on my own, on a mountain bike, sleeping in a tent full of people I didnt know. I wore shorts over my bike shorts and a t-shirt on the 2nd day. When I went across that finish line, I had tears streaming down my face. I had never felt so good about something, knowing that I am riding for a great cause. The minute I saw my family, I threw my bike on the floor and said never again.... Little did I know I would have done it 4 more times!

I will still be involved in the MS Society, working on the Awards Party Committee! Something I am very excited about. We are totally revamping it. It will be bigger and better.
